These issues are known to arise from various reasons, including a poor internet connection. Hulu app streams videos so you can expect some buffering and shuttering while loading the content, and in most cases, it is normal for the connectivity to behave this way.

With this in mind, we sought to find solutions to help you fix Hulu issues so you can troubleshoot the error on your own, and enjoy watching Hulu content.

How to fix Hulu issues on Xbox One

1. General troubleshooting

If you’re experiencing Hulu issues on Xbox One, here are some quick first things you can try before using any of the solutions that follow.

Perform a speed test on your connection. Once complete, compare the results of the same against the Hulu requirements for internet speed and connectivity. If they exceed the requirements, do the following:

Power down and unplug your Hulu device, modem and router for one minute

Reduce the devices using your network connection as these reduce internet speeds. For optimal streaming, ensure only a limited number of devices are using your WiFi, to boost up the speeds. Hulu requires 1.5 Mbps to stream SD videos and 3.0 Mbps for HD videos respectively.

Note: Hulu streams video in different ranges of picture quality adjustable according to your internet speed. Ensure your connection can achieve sustained download speeds of 3.0 Mbps for Hulu on-demand, and 8.0 Mbps for Hulu with Live TV. Watching multiple videos (or using the internet for other activities such as gaming, etc.) may require additional bandwidth.

5. Test your network connection on your Xbox console

If you still have Hulu issues on Xbox One after trying the general troubleshooting, test the connection directly on your console using the built-in network connection test. This helps identify any wireless interference and other network issues specific to your device.

To do this:

Go to the home screen on your Xbox One

Select Settings

Click Network

Click Detailed Network Statistics

Check if the results match that of the speed test you did earlier, and the speed requirements for Hulu.

6. Reinstall Hulu app

To do this:

Log out of Hulu from the app

Highlight the Hulu app tile

Press Menu on your Xbox One controller

Select Manage App

Select Internal

Go to Uninstall

Go to the right and select Hulu to reinstall the app

7. Check Language and Location settings

Ensure these are set to the U.S. by going to the main menu, select Settings>System>Location
